Been a while since my last update, but that's okay. I've been working, making money, blowing it on Halloween stuff. The usual. 
The screenshot is a Game Over picture. Just one of many. 
Actually, I've been doing a lot of game work that is at least note-worthy. I was able to get a bunch of background music done in the free time I had (or should I say, what little free time), and they're not bad.
Non-MIDI Music
Title Screen Theme:
http://www.freewebs.com/oneandonlylukemeister/GA%20Music/TitleScreen.mp3
-This was originally a part of a song I wrote, but took the lyrics out and shoved the end chord at the end of this bridge. It works well.
New Game Screens:
http://www.freewebs.com/oneandonlylukemeister/GA%20Music/NewGameScreens.mp3
-Again, another song fragment without lyrics. This one is intended to loop infinitely.
Battle Victory:
http://www.freewebs.com/oneandonlylukemeister/GA%20Music/BasicBattleVictory.mp3
-This one's sweet. It's a short yet effective theme for every time the player wins a battle. I love it.
Game Over:
http://www.freewebs.com/oneandonlylukemeister/GA%20Music/GameOverScreen.mp3
-This one's slightly odd in that I used conflicting notes, yet it somehow still works. It's like it fits the Game Over idea. "Who cares what the notes are, you died".
MIDI Music
At The House:
http://www.freewebs.com/oneandonlylukemeister/GA%20Music/HouseMusic.mid
-This one's heavily influenced by Toejam & Earl. Meant to loop infinitely.
Frozen Sea:
http://www.freewebs.com/oneandonlylukemeister/GA%20Music/FrozenSeaNormal.mid
-This one is pure epic. It's serene, dangerous, and chilling at the same time. Even the notes seem to shiver.
Storage Warehouse:
http://www.freewebs.com/oneandonlylukemeister/GA%20Music/StorageWarehouse.mid
-A neat theme: it conveys a large, vacant storage building well. Somewhat smooth, somewhat creepy, somewhat cool.
Standard Battle:
http://www.freewebs.com/oneandonlylukemeister/GA%20Music/RegularBattleMusic.mid
-LET'S RUMBLE, BUDDY! (About 14 seconds in, it's worth the wait)
Boss Battle:
http://www.freewebs.com/oneandonlylukemeister/GA%20Music/StandardBossBattle.mid
-An awesome buildup to two cool solos. If I ever have to give someone a beatdown, I want it to be to this music.
Frozen Sea Panic:
http://www.freewebs.com/oneandonlylukemeister/GA%20Music/FrozenSeaBrokenIce.mid
-If you break through the ice, this panicky music plays. Better get out of that freezing water before...
Epic Loss:
http://www.freewebs.com/oneandonlylukemeister/GA%20Music/ExecBoardZordGameOver.mid
-I probably won't use this one. Don't get me wrong, it's AWESOME, it just sounds too much like the elemental destruction of Shapier in Quest For Glory 2 from Sierra.
Peter's Dance:
http://www.freewebs.com/oneandonlylukemeister/GA%20Music/PetersDance.mid
-This one is silly, but cool. It has a faint reference to the Boss Battle music.
I've got more, but they're not quite done yet. Hopefully when this project gets released, I'll have a real band to make each music piece.
I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween and a Blessed Samhain!
